Why Parents Are Choosing To Home School Their Children, Karen E. Suchy
Why Parents Are Choosing To Home School Their Children, Karen E. Suchy
Graduate Research Papers
Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie had something in common. All received the majority of their education at home. Joining these prominent people are other equally famous individuals. At present, nearly a quarter of a million school-age children are being taught in the home (Common, 1986). The reasons parents are choosing to educate their children at home are varied. Those who home school come from many walks of life. Some are highly educated, while others have only the equivalence of a high school diploma. Whatever the level of education, these parents are instructing their children at home.
Attitudinal Changes In Teachers Regarding Hearing-Impaired Students In The Regular Classroom, Diana Schuler
Attitudinal Changes In Teachers Regarding Hearing-Impaired Students In The Regular Classroom, Diana Schuler
Graduate Research Papers
Educational programs have changed immensely since the passage of Public Law 94-142. It was passed in 1975 and is referred to as The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (Johnson & Cartwright, 1979). This law requires that all handicapped children be educated to the maximum extent appropriate in the least restrictive environment. Handicapped students shall go to special classes or separate schools only when the nature or severity of the handicap is such that education in the regular class, with the use of supplementary aids and services, cannot be achieved satisfactorily (Paramount Communications, 1978).

The Hansen Writers' Workshop Project* is a story of growth and change-- one that began in the fall of 1987 and continues to evolve. The main characters are the staff members who so willingly and enthusiastically became participants in this adventure. Without their strong commitment and support, this story would never have been told. This is also a story of possibilities-- the exciting things that can happen to teachers when they are free to be true professionals. The Hansen staff is very fortunate to have as its principal a man who believes in them as people and as professionals. Jim …
The Use Of Telecommunications In Distance Learning, J. Michael Noel
The Use Of Telecommunications In Distance Learning, J. Michael Noel
Graduate Research Papers
The advent of the adult learner, in either the role of full or part-time student or as a participant in continuing education, has precipitated more changes in the education field than any in recent memory. The growth of this group of adult learners has required colleges and universities to adapt to the special needs of the adult learner in an effort to survive. One of those special needs of the adult learner is the freedom to learn on their own time and without the constrictions of commuting to campus. A vast majority of these adult learners work full or part-time …

In the age of advanced technology when a push of a button begins a series of connections, the importance of human reasoning power becomes more and more crucial. Only through thinking, scanning the limits of the brain, can the technology be of use to society and to oneself. Throughout this period of technological progress, the skills necessary to exist in this society are changing and in question. The goals and approaches of the elementary school mathematics curriculum are also being questioned. In mathematics education the major influence of technology is its potential for shifting the focus of instruction from an …
Cooperative Learning: An Alternative Instructional System, Colleen V. Goodenbour
Cooperative Learning: An Alternative Instructional System, Colleen V. Goodenbour
Graduate Research Papers
During the last two decades, educators have searched for more productive and efficient ways to organize classrooms. Learning can be implemented under three possible structures: competitive, cooperative, and individualistic (Johnson & Johnson, 1974). Traditionally, American schools have relied heavily on competition as a goal structure. Students routinely are placed in settings wherein they compete for grades, teacher attention, approval, and a place in the social order of the classroom. Yet, the major problems facing our society today call for cooperation, understanding, problem solving, and altruism

Toward Curricular Congruence In Classroom And Remedial Reading Through Strategies For Transition, Linda Suttle Mcclure
Graduate Research Papers
One of our greatest challenges in education today is to provide the most effective education possible for children and youth with learning problems. In the past two decades, efforts to meet this challenge have produced an abundance of federally funded programs designed to meet the educational needs of these children. "Special," "compensatory," and "remedial" education programs for children with learning, language, reading, and math problems have been established in virtually every school district in the nation as a means to contribute to the goal of quality education. The National Commission on Excellence in Education indicated a strong concern over problems …
Problems Encountered With The Readability Of Social Studies Books, Peggy Drinovsky
Problems Encountered With The Readability Of Social Studies Books, Peggy Drinovsky
Graduate Research Papers
Readability of social studies texts has been and continues to be a concern of teachers when choosing a new series to use in the school. Teachers using readability formulas have come away feeling dissatisfied, as there are always students who should be able to read the book but cannot, or ones who should not be able to read the book but can, according to the formulas used. Obtaining the readability of a given text is quick and easy but it diagnoses the text rather than the student, as it gives the grade level of the text not the reading level …

The Application Of The Computer To Writing And Reading In The Classroom, Ronette Carnall
Graduate Research Papers
Our society has a long-standing fascination with technology. One marvel of current technological advancements is the microcomputer. Its arrival in school systems has been regarded with awe by some and apprehension by others. When viewed and utilized as an aid, the computer enhances instruction in the language arts classroom and frees the instructor to advise students (Bradley, 1984).

An Analysis Of Research Studies Comparing Self-Contained To Departmentalized Classroom Organizational Plans For Fifth And Sixth Graders, Dennie L. Webb
An Analysis Of Research Studies Comparing Self-Contained To Departmentalized Classroom Organizational Plans For Fifth And Sixth Graders, Dennie L. Webb
Graduate Research Papers
Research comparing departmentalized-types of classroom organizational plans to self-contained classroom plans for fifth and sixth grade students was studied. The most current research available on the topic was compiled in one paper to help guide educators when making:decisions about changing the organizational plan of their school. The research was collected from educational journals and doctoral dissertations. The research suggests that in the area of academic achievement the self-contained classroom may be superior. Many teachers and most students prefer the departmentalized classrooms. Schools should move slowly in changing from self-contained to departmentalized classrooms until more current research has been done.
Principles Associated With The Theory Of Whole Language And Barriers Which Affect Its Use, Sara Elizabeth Hegg
Principles Associated With The Theory Of Whole Language And Barriers Which Affect Its Use, Sara Elizabeth Hegg
Graduate Research Papers
There is a great need for teachers to be up-to-date in regard to theory and research in education. The exposure teachers have to new theories and practices enables them to reflect on their present teaching beliefs and methods. However, reports on research show that change in educational philosophies or procedures has not always fared well in the past and as a result new ideas are not always well received (Altwerger, Edelsky, and Flores, 1987). Indeed, change is hard, and educators often hold on to the way things are because of a fear that the change may not be positive. Educators …
Early Writing In The Kindergarten Classroom, Agnes Grevstad Hjelle
Early Writing In The Kindergarten Classroom, Agnes Grevstad Hjelle
Graduate Research Papers
Learning to read and learning to write are related processes which deal with printed symbols (Hall, Moretz, & Statom, 1986). In 1980 Glenda Bissex published GNYS AT WRK: A Child Learns to Write and Read. Bissex chose to focus on how her child treated himself as a writer. In her observation of her son she found that reading was integrally involved in his becoming a writer. When children write they read their own texts and they consequently monitor their production. A dynamic relationship exists between writing and reading because each influences the other in the course of development (Ferreiro & …

According to the Report of the Commission on Reading summarized in the book Becoming a Nation of Readers (Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, Wilkinson, 1985), reading is a basic life ability. With the demands made upon today's students to experience in-depth thinking and reading, it is necessary for them to develop higher level reading abilities.
The Elementary Guidance Counselor: An Essential Part Of Elementary Education, Sharon L. Tessman
The Elementary Guidance Counselor: An Essential Part Of Elementary Education, Sharon L. Tessman
Graduate Research Papers
Education is a social process. Human interaction is the single most important ingredient in education. Most human behaviors are learned. They develop as a consequence of persons interacting with their environment. The type of person we are is determined by the interactions we have with other human beings. When teaching a child, educators must interact with the total individual; this has become known as teaching the "total child". Education can no longer deal singly with the teaching of subject content, as has been the practice in the past. This method has not produced adults who are prepared to meet the …
The Academic And Social Adjustment Problems Of Taiwan-Chinese Students Studying At Iowa Regents Higher Educational Institutions, Shu-Er Lee
Graduate Research Papers
Cross-cultural contacts are easier and more convenient because technological developments have shortened the distance between countries. The third world countries demand advanced technological and industrialized knowledge and skills to develop their countries. Therefore, they send a large number of students to highly developed countries to absorb their invaluable scientific experiences. In particular, the third world countries send a large number of students to the United States because of its leading position in technology, advanced economic development and democratic leadership.
The Effects Of Individualized Instruction On The Affective Responses Of Fifth Grade Students Toward Mathematics, Diane Mccarty
The Effects Of Individualized Instruction On The Affective Responses Of Fifth Grade Students Toward Mathematics, Diane Mccarty
Graduate Research Papers
Instructional efforts that attempt to adapt to individual differences have existed for many years. The formal development of individual instructional programs in America started in the later decades of the last century as opposition to the age-graded, systematic manner in which all students, regardless of differences among them, were confined to study the same materials in the same way for the same length of time (Gibbons, 1971). Although most instruction has continued in the tradition of the whole-class, graded system, an increasing number of programs that have made education more amenable to differences among students have been developed. Many of …
Parent Involvement In A Public Preschool: Proposed Guidelines For An Effective Program, Bonnie Dunham
Parent Involvement In A Public Preschool: Proposed Guidelines For An Effective Program, Bonnie Dunham
Graduate Research Papers
There has been a substantial amount of research indicating that the major source of a student's motives for achievement, as well as his or her personality structure, is the home in which he or she grows up (Gordon, 1977). The behavior and attitudes of parents, as well as the nature of the physical setting and materials provided, have a direct impact on the child's behavior before and during the school years. The school is another source of a child's intellectual and personality development. The nature of the curriculum, the mode of teacher behavior, and the classroom ecology all influence not …

Education For Gifted And Talented Children: Suggestions For Improving Gifted And Talented Programs In Malaysia, Md Ismail Bin Jamjam
Graduate Research Papers
Gifted and talented children are an asset to every society. If they are to be the leaders of tomorrow, there is a critical need to educate them well for the future. Education targeted for the gifted and talented was initiated in Malaysia in the early 20th Century when the first fully residential school was established. But it appears that in the years since its inception there has been no plan to differentiate significantly this program from the regular day schools, which are the conventional form of education common in Malaysia.

Social Skills In Low Income Schools, Jill L. Nielsen
Social Skills In Low Income Schools, Jill L. Nielsen
Graduate Research Papers
The teaching of academic skills, such as reading, writing and arithmetic, have traditionally been schools' main process for properly preparing students for real life. The development of certain social skills has been given little emphasis. However, this development is very important to the academic instructional experience of the student as well as the total school success (Cartledge, 1978). Social skills may be defined as the ability to interact with others in a social setting in certain ways that are societally acceptable or valued and at the same time are personally beneficial, mutually beneficial or beneficial to others (Cartledge, 1978). Social …

The Elementary Principal's Role In Sensitizing Teachers To The Effects Divorce Has On Their Classroom Students' Academic Achievement, Donald Boyd Shaw
Graduate Research Papers
The divorce rate of parents with school age children is increasing at an alarming rate. The divorce rate has more than doubled from 1965 to 1975 involving over 60 percent with children (Damon, 1979). In 1981 there were 1,180,000 children affected by divorce, accounting for 20 percent of student enrollment (Cantraell, 1986; Drake, 1981). Silvern (1985) projected that by 1990, 32 percent of American children may face a divorce in their family. These startling statistics have caused educators to examine the effects that divorce can have on student achievement.

Eliminating Drunk Driving: A Contemporary Problem, Rebecca S. Lavenz
Graduate Research Papers
Since the advent of the "horseless carriage" in this country, we as a society have been dealing with the dilemma of preventing deaths, personal injuries, and property damage and loss from automobile accidents. With the ownership of automobiles moving from an item of luxury belonging to just the wealthy, to a daily life-style essential to the masses, traffic legislation has become a necessity of life. Part of this traffic legislation has included enacting laws in an attempt to eliminate alcohol impaired drivers from operating motor vehicles on the public highways.
